Question

If triangle ABC ~ triangle apq and ar(triangle)=4[ar(triangleABC)], Then the ratio of BC to PQ is

Answer 1

Answer:

Now we know that the ratio of the two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides.

Since ΔABC ~ ΔAPQ, therefore we can write

substituting from (i)

taking square roots on both sides

← option (b)

Thus, the ratio of BC to PQ is 1:2.
